As for the road issue, that's pathetic.

I posted this on another thread earlier and it points out in graphic detail, your road thoughts.

Just a little math to ponder: 60' (timber fire break) times 5280' (mile) times 100 miles, divided by 43560 (sq ft in acre) equals 727.27 acres cleared. At close to 500,000 acres burned to the ground, cleared, wasted and wiped out for at least 10-20years, I would call the trade-off quite good. Bear in mind that 100 miles of a sixty foot timber break is only my guess as to what would be sufficient for a safety margin. Even if it's double or triple that, the tradeoff is more than good. Then again, common sense does not exist with Enviro/nazi's!!!

Thanks, Bob, for the ping and the read. It's appropriate to insert here THE admonition given to Adam and Eve at their creation:

Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every livng thing that moves upon the earth.'"

Our President knows these words, I'm sure ...
